Editorial Reviews

From the back cover

High octane performer Ricky Martin is set to become one of the brightest stars in the U.S., but already he's a star in many other parts of the world who's selling millions of records. Ricky burst onto the U.S. scene in 1999 with his first English-language album, Ricky Martin, which includes Madonna's first-ever duet with a male singer. Like many before him, Ricky's success has been years in the making.

Ricky was born in Puerto Rico and he's made the journey from a boy singer with the teen-sensation band Menudo, which he joined when he was just 13 years old, to a soap star and now finally to a major singing artist.

A spell in Mexico after the demise of Menudo saw Ricky acting in a TV soap opera and he followed this up with a part in a smash-hit Broadway musical, before heading for the really big time on the West Coast. From L.A. he's hit the top and doesn't seem set to stop just yet!

This program contains the achievements of this man's meteoric rise to fame.

(Spanish-language sections have been dubbed in English.)

Contains material never seen before.

This is an independently made program charting the rise of an astonishing pop success story. Neither Ricky Martin, his management, the record company, nor anybody connected with Ricky Martin have consented to or authorized the production or release of this documentary. This video contains no recording or performances by Ricky Martin.

1.0 out of 5 stars A RIP OFF, October 10, 1999

By A Customer

I BOUGHT IT BECAUSE I AM A BIG FAN OF RICKY'S AND WHEN I WATCHED IT I WANTED TO CRY AT HOW BAD THIS TAPE WAS. THERE IS NOT ONE NOTE OF RICKY'S MUSIC. NOTHING, JUST A BUNCH OF PEOPLE SAYING HOW GREAT HE IS WHICH WE ALL KNOW BUT ITS JUST THE SAME PICTURES OF HIM OVER AND OVER AND NOTHING TO DO WITH RICKY.

1.0 out of 5 stars It's a Crazy Life, June 22, 2000

By	Teresa D Williams (North Carolina, USA) - See all my reviews

This so called video is nothing but a piece of garbage. I spent hardearned money on this to watch a bunch of [people] who don't even knowRicky Martin describe his career. If you want to see Ricky buy "Ricky Martin, The Video Collection" or Ricky Martin "One night Only" These are great Ricky videos. ... ... read the small print, only buy authorized Ricky Martin material ... This video doesn't even deserve to be rated with a star. NO STARS!

1.0 out of 5 stars Verrrrryyyy Bad, November 7, 1999

By	ANITA C (United States - Texas) - See all my reviews

Several of us watched this video together and all HATED it. Don't waste your time and $$. I gave it 1 star because there was no negative key available. I was the one who invited my friends and family to watch it and was totally embarrassed by it.
